    Tartiflette Inspired Vegan Potato Dish

    Published: Jan 18, 2023 by Chef Tripti · This post may contain affiliate links

    This is comfort food, vegan style. Being a vegan potato dish, this may run the risk of sounding uninspiring, but trust me, you must try this recipe because it is so moreish. In my vegan tartiflette version, I've thrown in many flavours like vegan cheeses, vegan cream, leeks, shallots, and white miso. Just the smell of this cooking will want to make you dive in! You can enjoy this as a side to a main meal or even a meal on its own.

    An oven dish containing vegan Tartiflette.

    Tartiflette is a dish that originates from the french alps, first appearing in cookbooks in the eighteenth century. It is traditionally made with Reblochon cheese (french cheese) and bacon. Being moreish, filling and warming, it's not surprising that it became a popular dish in ski resorts. For my vegan tartiflette, I have used vegan camembert and parmesan cheese.

    Why not create a complete meal by combining it with my vegan wellington?

    Ingredients

    Prepared ingredients for vegan tartiflette in small glass dishes.
    • Potatoes - I use Yukon Gold
    • Shallots
    • Leek
    • Garlic
    • Vegan block butter
    • Vegan single cream
    • Vegan camembert cheese
    • Vegan parmesan cheese
    • Nutritional yeast
    • White miso
    • Vegetable stock
    • Salt
    • Pepper

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    Prepare your ingredients:

    • Wash potatoes and pat dry.
    • Finely chop the shallots, leek and garlic.
    • Thinly slice the potatoes with the skin. The thickness should be about 2 to 3 mm.
    A large frying pan containing finely chopped garlic, shallots and leek, frying in oil.

    In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the shallots, leek and garlic for about five minutes until soft.

    Vegetable stock poured from a measuring jug into a frying pan containing thinly sliced potato with finely chopped shallot, garlic and leek.

    Dissolve the miso in the vegetable stock.

    Add the potatoes into the pan with the shallots, leek and garlic and gently toss for five minutes until they have some colour. Then add the vegetable stock and cook for 10 minutes, mixing all the time.

    Pouring vegan cream from a measuring jug into a frying pan on a hob containing thinly sliced potato.

    Mix the nutritional yeast with the single vegan cream. Add this to the potatoes. Bring to a rapid boil and take off the heat immediately.

    Transfer into an oven-proof tray.

    Vegan camembert slices and grated parmesan cheese placed on top of tartiflette mix ready for cooking.

    Slice the vegan camembert into three slices from the centre to have three equal pieces. Place two discs in the centre of the baking dish on top of the potatoes. Cut the last disc into quarters and add to the corners of the baking dish.

    Add grated vegan parmesan cheese.

    Bake in the oven at 190ºC for 40 minutes, until the potatoes are cooked, and you have a nice golden colour on the top.

    Substitutions

    I have used Yukon gold potatoes; however, you can use charlotte potatoes or russet potatoes. Any waxy potato variety will work.

    If not vegan, you can use dairy cheese. Any creamy cheese will work. The original recipe of tartiflette calls for reblochon cheese. If you are using dairy cheese, you don't need to use nutritional yeast.

    Vegan cream can be replaced with single dairy cream.

    Variations

    The original recipe for tartiflette has bacon lardons. An idea for a vegan substitute is to use mushrooms instead.

    Equipment

    You will need an oven-proof dish in which to cook the vegan tartiflette.

    A mandoline slicer is recommended.

    Storage

    You can prep this dish in advance and keep it in the fridge, covered for three days before and after baking.

    Top tip

    If using a mandolin to slice potatoes, secure it with a damp cloth so it will not move while slicing.

    FAQ

    Can you reheat vegan tartiflette?

    Yes, it tastes just as good! Either reheat in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes or in the oven at 180ºC for 15 minutes.

    What are the best potatoes for tartiflette?

    For this dish, I use Yukon gold potatoes. This is because this variety does not break down during cooking but will hold its shape due to its waxy nature. This is as opposed to more floury potato varieties that lend themselves to mashing or making chips when you want fluffy insides!

    Food Safety

    In a professional kitchen, food hygiene and safety are a top priority, and from the beginning of training, I practised good habits and routines. Of course, practising good food hygiene and safety at home is also essential. Here are some fundamental practices to adopt in the kitchen.

    • Wash your hands regularly while preparing, handling and cooking food.
    • Wipe down countertops and high-contact points regularly.
    • If you cook meat and fish, do not use the same utensils on cooked food that previously touched raw meat. Use separate chopping boards for meat and fish. Wash your chopping boards immediately after use.
    • Thoroughly cook food to a minimum temperature of 165 °F (74 °C).
    • Don't leave food at room temperature for extended periods (more than 2 hours).
    • Store food correctly.

    For more details regarding food hygiene and safety in the home, visit the UK Government's Food Standards Agency webpage.
